fter nearly a yearlong hiatus we are proud to announce that Adventureland Day Camp is back and better than ever! While we hated having to cancel our 2012 season, it gave us a chance to re-envision the magic of Adventureland. The DeVicaris family and key staff members spent the entire 2012 summer rebuilding our site and revamping our camp programming. The result is a sleeker, cleaner campus with open sightlines and multi-use facilities. Our improved programming promises to be nothing short of spectacular! If you liked the things we did in the past, you will LOVE what we’re doing now! Imagine a day with more activities, more personal choice and more fun! And our camp programs will be more customizable and affordable! Clearly, we are planning the best summer in Adventureland’s history and we want YOU to be a part of it! Want to know more about our new programs?! Stay tuned for our Winter Newsletter to find out!!

at the Adventureland Camp Reunion!
O
ur Fall Camp Reunion was a HUGE Success!! More than TWO HUNDRED campers and families attended this really special day. It was great to see so many smiling faces and hear how excited everyone was to be able to come back to Adventureland. The day was spent catching up, sharing summer experiences, and showing off all the great improvements to our campus. The greatly enlarged lawn next to our training pool provided cool green grass with plenty of options for playing, relaxing, and sunbathing. The pool water was sparkling, fish were biting as always, and our new gaga court hosted its first games. Even more impressive were the number of people who told us they could not wait to sign up and come back to Adventureland in 2013! We know how you feel because we can’t wait for summer camp to begin either! Check out our rates and discount dates below and make sure you sign up early to reserve your space for the summer of 2013!!

Ga-Ga On-the-Road Adventureland is proud to announce that we have loaned our latest portable Ga-Ga court to VALLEY ELEMENTARY SCHOOL for use in the off-season. The idea came from our Head Ropes Course Instructor and Leadership Team member Jon Winters. During the school year Jon teaches at Valley and made this great opportunity happen. Many of the students at Valley are also Adventureland campers and will be able to quickly teach this fast-paced and exciting game to their classmates. And Valley students who enroll for camp will be able to play Gaga all year long!
